It's in the title. I have a sink that I fill with ice and cool water. I throw my brew pot in there for a while after my finished boil. Looking for some ideas and suggestions...

So I didn't measure how much water I added to my wert, just eyeballed it. I know, rookie mistake. Anyway there was a good amount of foam in the carboy so I guess when it settled I had only about what looks like 4 gallons of beer, maybe a little more. Should I just forget about it and bottle or...
